Questioning the life choices that have led to me being awake at 1am to perform an application deployment.

Oh SOC2 audit, how I loathe thee. Let me count the ways...

I'm honestly surprised that youtube-dl, a project that openly encourages copyright infringement in it's documentation, hasn't been hit with a DMCA takedown before now.

Also annoyed at seeing people complain about Microsoft and the whole embrace, extend, extinguish thing who probably weren't alive when the Halloween memos were leaked. #getoffmylawn

Said recruiters also typically send their solicitations to my work email.

Getting tired of recruiters who, "saw your profile on LinkedIn" and blatantly ignored the setting that says I'm not interested in job opportunities. Jerks.

So far the Hacktoberfest spammers haven't found any of my abandoned repos. Only 29 more days to go. 🤞

Dear drywall, you may have won this battle, but I swear that I'll win the war.

Is it just me, or is it somewhat brazen and/or tacky when a recruiter sends unsolicited job postings to your work email?

Sigh. Another promising podcast/video series ruined by f-bombs.

Every time I do a home improvement project I feel like an archaeologist. I uncover the ruins of an earlier age, and it becomes way more involved than it appeared on the surface.

Well, that experiment was short lived. Apparently current versions of Chromium has removed the option to stop embedded audio and video from auto-playing. Plus the Android experience wasn't great.

Back to Firefox it is for now, and I'll only use Chrome when I need to use SSO/OAuth logins for work apps.

Broke down and did a side-load of F-droid so I can install Bromite. Mobile Firefox is kind of broken, and I've grown tired of waiting for bugs to get fixed.

Frustrating. Chrome/Chromium is noticeably faster/better at rendering web pages, but Firefox has far superior UI/UX. With the recent RIF at Mozilla, I'm not expecting the performance gap to close any time soon.
